Altera delivers its 28-nm Production FPGAs

Altera Corporation has announced delivery of its 28-nm FPGAs in production featuring 28-Gbps transceivers.

"There is a constant push in the financial markets for the highest performance at the lowest latency. AdvancedIO's products combined with Altera's latest 28-nm FPGA technology provide the ideal solution," said Mohammad Darwish, President and CEO at AdvancedIO Systems. "Leveraging Altera's Stratix V FPGAs in our network cards enables us to deploy the most reliable, error-free and rugged products in the market. The scalable density offered by the Stratix V family opens new possibilities for more sophisticated financial services with FPGA technology."

"Production availability of our high-end 28-nm silicon comes at an exciting time, as companies are aggressively building higher performance systems or upgrading existing infrastructure to keep pace with their end customer's demands," said Vince Hu, vice president of product and corporate marketing at Altera. "Offering the first high-performance FPGA in production puts us in a great position to allow customers to differentiate and get to market quickly with their end system. The advantage we have with our tailored 28-nm portfolio is resulting in us solidly winning two out of every three 28-nm designs in the marketplace. We are also winning applications that were traditionally served by ASSPs and ASICs in optical networking, high-speed packet processing and other communications applications."
